ESP英语教学中引入语言探究式学习,可在开展有效授受式学习的同时,将学生置于主动探究,注重问题解决及语言交流的学习情境中,学生通过亲身体验,自主获取知识来源,了解自身特殊用途英语语言技能的发展过程和学习策略的养成过程。通过ESP语言探究式学习研究,可归纳出一套ESP语言教学行之有效的策略。     

Using the Blended Learning Approach in a Quantitative Literacy Course

The efforts to improve the quantitative reasoning (quantitative literacy) skills of college students in the United States have been gaining momentum in recent years. At the same time, the blended learning approach to course delivery has gained in popularity, promising better learning with flexible modalities and pace. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study that compares student learning outcomes and student attitudes over several semesters of blended versus traditional delivery in the upper-division quantitative literacy course at Point Loma Nazarene University.     

探究式学习实施原则初探

实施探究式学习要遵循一些基本原则:为了保证教学进度,不能完全排斥接受式学习;学生的探究需要教师必要的引导;评价既要重过程,又要重结果;要将探究过程中的错误作为一种资源加以利用。     

Fighting Alternative Facts: Teaching Quantitative Reasoning with Social Issues

Abstract

Mathematics has a unique and powerful role to play in the teaching of social justice issues. There is substantial quantitative evidence for social injustice, but many citizens lack the quantitative skills to understand that evidence. A course in quantitative literacy is a unique opportunity to provide this quantitative understanding to a wide range of students in a general education context. Quantitative literacy skills provide citizens with the tools they need to critically analyze misinformation and make good decisions about civic issues.     

Assessing Student Openness to Inquiry-Based Learning in Precalculus

Abstract

The authors have completed a 2-year quasi-experimental study on the use of inquiry-based learning (IBL) in precalculus. This study included six traditional lecture-style courses and seven modified Moore method courses taught by three instructors. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to investigate the attitudes and beliefs of the students in each section. In this article, we provide a summary of those results with a particular focus on the Openness to IBL survey we developed for assessing student preferences for either student-centered or teacher-centered instruction. Although the majority of the students exhibited a strong preference for direct instruction, students whose scores favored student-centered approaches according to the survey also tended to perform better on the final exam, indicating that a key element to success in an IBL course may be students’ perceptions of the method.

非言语学习困难青少年空间和非空间关系推理策略分析

目的:探讨非言语学习困难青少年二维空间和非空间关系推理策略。方法:从初中二年级选取三组被试:非言语学习困难组(简称NLD)、言语学习困难组(简称VLD)和一般组(简称C)。结果:(1)NLD组空间关系推理成绩显著低于一般组;(2)在空间关系推理中,两类单模题推理成绩显著高于双模题。在非空间关系推理中,有无关前提的题推理成绩显著高于没有无关前提的题;(3)一般组正确运用模型建构策略显著高于NLD和VLD组。结论:NLD青少年通过建构模型解决空间关系推理,但不能有效运用该策略,非空间关系推理则采用逻辑规则策略。     

理论性知识探究式教学模式与策略初探——以化学《质量守恒定律》为例

探究式教学是针对传统注入式教学存在的弊端而提出的。化学理论性知识探究式教学必须结合其所具有的概括性、抽象性和较强的逻辑性与严密性等知识特点展开。首先教师要创设一定的问题情境引发学生的认知冲突,从而激活知识的意义;其次,教师要设计一定的探究活动,帮助学生转变原有的认知,从而使学生体验知识建构的过程;再次,教师要组织学生开展有效的交流与讨论,引导学生阐明解释自己的观点,从而形成学生之间知识的有意义互动;最后,教师要及时开展评价与总结,引导学生反思完善新的知识,从而进一步转变观念。     

Inquiry-Based Learning in a First-Year Honors Course

We describe a case study of a problem-solving section, using the “Harkness” discussion method, of an honors multivariable calculus course. Students in the problem-solving section had equivalent outcomes on exams, reported higher ratings in self-assessments of skills, and took more math classes in the following year, compared with students in the lecture-based sections.     

Teaching Inquiry with Linked Classes and Learning Communities

Abstract

In order to improve problem-solving dispositions, a section of an inquiry-based math sequence for first-year business students was linked with a section of our general education English sequence. We describe how the linked classes worked and compare some preliminary results from linked and unlinked sections of the math sequence.     

A Combinatorics Course with One Goal: Authentic Mathematical Inquiry

Abstract

This article shares an example of a course in Combinatorics, taught at Adelphi University in Fall 2012, designed with a primary goal of engaging students in pursuing mathematics as mathematicians do. The course went beyond usual applications of inquiry-based learning in that students were also charged with the responsibility of posing the mathematical statements that would be examined as part of the course. In this way, students decided what was interesting to study and were responsible for the creation of mathematics within their classroom community.

This article looks at the syllabus policies for the course, describes some of the work that students did as part of the course, and reflects upon the outcomes of the course.     

地方师范院校数学“准教师”合情推理状况的初步调查

教师的合情推理状况直接影响学生的合情推理能力和创新能力的发展.调查发现数学"准教师"在掌握合情推理基本知识和科学灵活运用推理模式方面都有明显不足,且与大一学生的合情推理状况无显著差异.     

中学生数学归纳推理的发展研究

发展学生的归纳推理能力是数学课程的重要目标.初中生数学归纳推理的发展状况为:信息表征的类型随着知识量的增加而增加;归纳猜想随年级的升高而呈现缓慢增长趋势;假设检验随年级的增长并不显著;归纳推理与演绎推理在各年级中的发展不均衡.因此,在教学中加强归纳推理的教育与心理研究是十分必要也是刻不容缓的.     

Scaffolded Inquiry-Based Instruction with Technology: A Signature Pedagogy for STEM Education

Inquiry-based instruction has become a hallmark of science education and increasingly of integrated content areas, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Because inquiry-based instruction very clearly contains surface, deep, and implicit structures as well as engages students to think and act like scientists, it is considered a signature pedagogy of science education. In this article the authors discuss the nature of scaffolded inquiry-based instruction and how it can be applied to the use of emerging technologies, such as data mashups and cloud computing, so that students not only learn the content of STEM, but can also begin answering the critical socioscientific questions that face the modern era.     

Integrating Quantitative Literacy into Technical Writing Instruction

The authors argue that skills in quantitative literacy (QL) and quantitative reasoning (QR) augment students’ communicative effectiveness. This article offers a pedagogical framework and model for how QR can be productively interwoven with the rhetorical know-how of technical writing pedagogy. The authors describe their course redesign, present preliminary assessment data, and conclude by highlighting some implications not only for student learning, but also for the QL movement itself.     

Genetics Reasoning with Multiple External Representations

This paper explores a case study of a class of Year 10 students (n=24) whose learning of genetics involved activities of BioLogica, a computer program that features multiple external representations (MERs). MERs can be verbal/textual, visual-graphical, or in other formats. Researchers claim that the functions of MERs in supporting student learning are to complement information or processes, to constrain the interpretation of abstract concepts, and to construct new viable conceptions. Over decades, research has shown that genetics remains linguistically and conceptually difficult for high school students. This case study using data from multiple sources enabled students' development of genetics reasoning to be interpreted from an epistemological perspective. Pretest-posttest comparison after six weeks showed that most of the students (n=20) had improved their genetics reasoning but only for easier reasoning types. Findings indicated that the MERs in BioLogica contributed to students' development of genetics reasoning by engendering their motivation and interest but only when students were mindful in their learning. Based on triangulation of data from multiple sources, MERs in BioLogica appeared to support learning largely by constraining students' interpretation of phenomena of genetics.     

中国古代“推类”思想的研究进程

逻辑主要是研究推理类型或形式的科学。不同的民族文化和历史背景中所孕育的逻辑 ,必定会有各自的特点。古印度的因明不等同于古希腊的三段论 ,以墨家逻辑为代表的中国古代逻辑也不应是西方传统逻辑的复制品。一些学者致力于探索中国古代逻辑的合理解说和科学定位 ,而中国古代“推类”思想的不断开掘正是这种探索的结果。它深入揭示了中国传统文化中的逻辑思维特质 ,确立了中国古代逻辑的世界地位 ,并给中西文化的比较研究带来了深刻的启示
